Yes you are correct and please don't tell mr. Barnhart or Bill (two of my old shop teachers) I also sometimes use it for filing again do not tell Bill or mr. Barnhart though please I don't want to get an ear beating however if you do spill the beans please tell mr. Barnhart and Bill that I am not laying files on the ways and that I also put down plenty of paper towels or shop Rags before filing on the lathe under power thank you (mum's the word now)
